This cell line is not known to cause disease in healthy adult humans. These cells have NOT been screened for Hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency viruses or other adventitious agents, unless otherwise reported on the Certificate of Analysis. Regardless of results reported on the Certificate of Analysis Universal Precautions according to 29 CFR 1910.1030 should be followed at all times when manipulating these cell lines. For Biosafety Level 2 Cell Cultures Handle as a potentially biohazardous material under at least Biosafety Level 2 containment. These cell lines are associated with human disease, hazards include: percutaneous injury, ingestion, mucous membrane exposure (U.S. Government Publication Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories). These cells have NOT been screened for Hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency viruses or other adventitious agents, unless otherwise reported on the Certificate of Analysis. Regardless of results reported on the Certificate of Analysis Universal Precautions according to 29 CFR 1910.1030 should be followed at all times when manipulating these cell lines.

SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Various Animal Cell Cultures at Biosafety Level 1 or 2 Either frozen or growing cells shipped in liquid cell culture medium (a mixture of components that may include, but is not limited to: inorganic salts, vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates and other nutrients dissolved in water). Frozen Cultures may also contain a 5%-10% solution of Dimethyl sulfoxide as a cryoprotectant. This substance contains no ingredients at concentrations to be considered hazardous as defined by OSHA 29CFR 1910.1200 however this product should be handled according to good lab practices, with proper personal protective equipment, proper engineering controls and within the parameters of the purchaser s chemical hygiene plan. SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES Report to your Safety Office and Seek Medical Attention as Soon as Possible Ingestion: If person is unconscious seek emergency medical attention; never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If the person is conscious wash mouth out with copious amounts of water and call a physician. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician. Inhalation: If person is unconscious seek emergency medical attention, if person is conscious remove to fresh air and call a physician. Dermal exposure: Immediately wash skin with copious amounts of water followed by washing with soap and copious amounts of water. Remove all contaminated clothing. Eye exposures: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes with eyelids separated and call a physician. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES General: Wear Self-Contained breathing apparatus in pressure demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved. During a fire, Page 2 of 5
irritating and toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition. Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, Halon (where regulations permit), or appropriate foam. Autoignition Temperature: N/A Explosion limits: N/A Flash Point: Not Available SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Use Personal Protective Equipment: Including Chemical Splash Goggles, Chemical Resistant Gloves, and appropriate clothing to prevent skin exposure. In addition, a Respiratory protection program that complies with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. Methods for Cleaning Up Patient/Victim: Wash with soap and water. Work clothes should be laundered separately. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Do not take clothing home. Equipment/Environment: Allow aerosols to settle; wearing protective clothing, gently cover spill with paper towel and apply 1% sodium hypochlorite, starting at perimeter and working towards the center; allow sufficient contact time before clean up (30 min). Note: The use of additional PPE may be necessary for cleaning solutions. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE Handle and store according to instructions on product information sheet and label.
